Black Friday shopping is becoming as much a Thanksgiving tradition as pumpkin pie, with more South Florida retailers planning to open their doors at midnight Nov. 25.

"People spend Thanksgiving Day together and by the time dinner's over and they're on that turkey high, most are already shopping online anyway," said Mike Gatti, the executive direction of the National Retail Federation's marketing division. "Shopping like this is such a sport. It's important to get that great deal."

Target, Macy's and Kohl's have announced plans to open their stores at midnight on the biggest shopping day of the year for the first time. Regular store hours will also be extended through the holiday season.

The retailers will have plenty of company.

Sunrise's Sawgrass Mills will be open 24 hours for non-stop shopping on Black Friday, too. The shopping center will open its doors from 10 p.m. Thanksgiving Day through 10 p.m. Nov. 25.

Kohl's will be open for 24 hours, beginning at midnight on Black Friday.

BrandsMart locations will also open at midnight on Black Friday, although the Sawgrass Mills location will open at 10 p.m.

Most Walmart locations are open 24 hours, but Black Friday sales at the retailer will begin at a specific time. It is unclear how early those sales will start this year.
